General description
GranuCult® plus Blood Agar (BA) Base is a rich nutrient medium designed to grow fastidious from various test samples and for the determination of hemolytic reactions after addition of defibrinated blood.
The medium is mainly used to understand the hemolysis patterns of the growing microflora. The blood component is defibrinated and added later after autoclaving procedure.
Heart extract and peptone in the media provide nitrogen, carbon, amino acids, and vitamins to the growing microbes and agar acts as the solidifying agent.
